Busy Man’Directs *Library’s Activities By NISMA BANTA The title, “busiest man on the campus,” might well be applied to Willis C. Warren, who in August was named act ing librarian to succeed Matthew H. Douglass, retired as librarian emeritus after 34 years of service. An interview with the new library head was punctuated by frequent jangling of the telephone and wedged between ousiness-ietter dictation ana con sultations with staff members, students, and various informa tion-seekers. Aside from library duties, Mr. Warren is engaged in two activities of a war nature —assistant aircraft observer in wiharge of personnel of the first J3elief for the campus observation post and campus air-raid warden assistant. While a sophomore at the Uni versity he began to do part-time work at the library as student assistant in the circulation de partment. Asked what field he had ex pected to engage in upon gradu ation, Mr. Warren replied, “I en tered school in 1926 during the balmy pre-depressicn days when everyone who received a diploma found a wonderful opportunity awaiting him. No one worried about a position. My major was economics, but I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to do, al though library work interested me. Then came the lean years, and people were glad to keep the jobs they had.” While doing graduate study ' for his M.A. degree in econom ics, received in 1934, Mr. War ren worked full time at the li brary. In the spring he attended the University of California, where he received a certificate in librarianship. Warren also en gaged in graduate study at Yale and served as graduate assistant for Dr. Fred R. Fairchild, taxa tion expert. ‘‘The double-barreled title of reserve librarian and executive assistant was given me at the University of Oregon library in ’36,” he said. ‘‘It was my lot to take charge of moving books from the old library at Fenton hall as well as 35,000 volumes and all bound' newspapers from the basement of Friendly hall to the new library building. But Jl hat,” he added, “is a story in it self!” While the moving took place AMERICA’S FAhukiTE Radio News Expert The only correct way to break in a pipe is to smoke it.

There is nothing stiff and starchy about Acting Librarian Willis C. Warren. He not only spent nine days of his summer vacation hauling four-foot slab wood for the Manerud-Hunting ton fuel company—70 cords to the Sigma Chi house (and his hands still show evidence of splin ters and callouses)—but just as a favor to friends he helped to saw up 17 cords of wood with a buzz saw. “My nearest approach to a hobby is gardening,’’ he said, but the major part of my spare time is spent playing football with my two sons or fixing bicycle tires for them. A coincidence connected with Mr. Warren’s assumption of of ficial duties this summer is that he became acting librarian in August, 1942, at the age of 33, his 34th birthday falling on Sep tember 16. His predecessor, Mr. Douglass, became librarian in August, 1908, at the age of 33, his 34th birthday also falling on September 16.
